The only way you’re completing sets when leveling is through trading, and if you’re doing that you can get better items anyway outside of the very early sets

If you think level 2-6 sets being the main draw of that item class is good balancing I have some bad news for you. And counting set items that you use as standalone items is bs, at that point they’re just uniques

i was happy to hear on some announcements as well, but never heard of ever since
too much disappointments from blizzard
ill believe em when i see em applied in game from now on

I hear what you say, but it doesnt change my mind. I liked them in D2 and I think they served their purpose and were nicely implemented. I remember a time in D2 when getting the shiny set for their favorite class was every players main goal.
Rune Words were too far away for so many players.

It was never a goal to get sets in any given patch of D2. Even when we were all brokies and having no idea about stuff. Just because we realised in hell (especially befote 1.10) you where doing so much better with some gg rares / blues than with a full set. I mean generally the itemization in D2 is absolute crapz0r, but sets where/are an absolute disaster.

It'd be a disaster if they d include sets now. But generally I'd rather see the route of D3 with toned down stats and a reduction of the legendary aspects and a buff of uniques. So we d get closer to D2 concept overall.

The itemization in d2 is better than any other arpg that’s ever been made. They only missed with sets, every other rarity has uses that match well with how frequently they drop

rod also mentioned runewords as a possibility in a future season.. wonder what the progress of that is
